Mercedes-Benz SLK280 roof won't open, trunk operates but roof remains locked on Mercedes-Benz SLK280

Some Mercedes-Benz SLK280 owners report experiencing issues with the retractable roof not opening, despite the trunk functioning properly. These problems may arise if the roof is locked while the vehicle is in motion, even when in park. Additionally, owners have reported that a mal-adjusted or broken cable, or a failure of a micro switch, could be contributing factors. Some also note that the issue might relate to a micro switch operated by the boot roller blind or the boot lock. Furthermore, it is suggested that the roof may have been fixed into position, which can be remedied by adjusting a screw near the cabin light to free the roof. Addressing these potential causes can help owners troubleshoot and resolve the issue effectively.
